Evaluation of magazine sam1
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It describes how the pop music magazine targets mainly female teenagers interested in pop music. It conveys an upbeat and lively theme through bright colors, unique layouts, and informal yet sophisticated language to represent its educated target audience. The fonts, colors, images, and stories used in the magazine are tailored to attract this target demographic.
Final evaluation q1 chloe rignall
The document analyzes and compares the layout designs of two music magazines: NME and a student-created magazine. Some key differences noted include:
- The student magazine separates interview questions and answers clearly for easier reading, while the NME spread is harder to understand.
- The student magazine includes more photos on the contents page to make it look busier, while the NME follows conventions.
- The NME has an introduction to the magazine, while the student magazine is more functional and easy to use.
- The student magazine maintains a consistent house style and font throughout, while the NME uses different colored fonts within the magazine.
Double page spread construction (3)
The document discusses the design choices for a double page magazine spread. The main title was designed to match the common theme and color scheme used throughout the magazine. The main image was lightened and had its saturation increased to improve quality. Additional elements like concert dates, exclusive stamps, and page numbers were included to make the spread feel more like a authentic magazine article. The text followed conventions and questions were a separate blue color to maintain the color scheme. Overall, the creator felt the full double page spread looked professional and attention-grabbing.

The document describes the process of creating a music magazine from start to finish. It includes taking photos using a Sony camera and editing them on a photo editor. The first draft cover is created using a stock image of a barcode. Feedback on draft images is that some faces were unfocused. Inspiration is taken from existing magazines' layouts. The contents page is created on Microsoft Publisher. Further photos are taken and edited in Picnik to improve images. The double page spread and front cover are iteratively improved by balancing layout and adding more images and color.

Question 1- Use, Develop And Challenge
Here is my question 1 (evaluating my magazine)
In this slideshare there will be some voice threads.
Screen shots front cover
The student changed the front cover photo for their music magazine because the original photo had the subject too far away. They also changed the font color to white to make it stand out better against the new closer photo. The new photo is better because it looks more professional by having the subject closer to the camera. They also added more band names to the bottom banner to advertise bands featured inside the magazine.

Magazine Cover Research
The document provides guidelines for designing magazine covers. It recommends using a large title font at the top of the cover to attract attention. A limited color palette is suggested, along with featuring the main image prominently without covering the face. Text should be placed and sized strategically to draw eyes to important elements like the title of the main article without obscuring the main image.
Nme contents page analysis
The document summarizes key conventions used on the contents page of an NME magazine. It notes that the masthead and date are included to organize the magazine and make it look professional. The contents are listed in columns by section like news and reviews, providing an efficient format for readers to find articles of interest. A main image of the band Kasabian is featured, using mise-en-scene elements to make it more interesting. A mini article and headline about Kasabian are used to draw readers into a longer interview within the magazine. Advertisements are also included on the contents page to gain more subscribers and readership.
Media Coursework
The document provides analysis of magazine covers, contents pages, and article spreads from music magazines. For each section, it summarizes the design elements used and how they appeal to the target audience. Color schemes, font choices, photo placement and sizes are described as being clear, eye-catching ways to draw readers in and highlight important information. Minimalistic designs with a focus on photos over text are said to match what the audiences for these magazines prefer.
Contents Page 1
The contents page uses a design filled with text over images to indicate it will focus on stories over visuals. The three main colors of red, white, and black are recognizable to NME's target audience and emphasize the magazine's edgy genre by associating with males and danger. The large red image of a band in the primary optical area links to the color scheme and implies the magazine will contain stories about music and this band.
Editing images for digipak
The document provides instructions for editing two parts of a digipak - the front cover and inside panel. For the front cover, stock photos of band members were imported and backgrounds were removed. The members were arranged and text was added over a colored background. Feedback was received and the background was made more complex with stripes and text. For the inside panel, song lyrics were added over a pink background. Text and images were inserted and formatting was adjusted. The finished products included an edited front cover and inside panel for a digipak.
Research task 2c
The double page spread features Dizzee Rascal as the main image tagging in a mid shot. While his image denoted past troubles, it connotes his creative nature. The layout uses Dizzee Rascal on the left side with the text on the right separated into columns and sections. Images of music and drinking indicate the target audience of music fans. The overall design looks organized with good use of images, fonts, colors and space.
Research task 2c
The document summarizes the layout of a double page magazine spread featuring the artist Dizzee Rascal. The spread uses a large image of Dizzee Rascal on the left page that anchors the headline on the right page. While the image denotes Dizzee Rascal's past creative activities, the text and smaller images on the right page suggest the target audience of drinking and listening to music. Overall, the layout utilizes color, images, and design elements like drop caps and columns in a well-organized manner across the two pages.
1st+music+magazine+powerpoint+taffy+school+13th+december
The document summarizes the process of creating images and drafts for a music magazine cover and contents page. It describes using a Sony camera to take initial photos, then editing them in a photo editor to adjust lighting, contrast and focus. One photo was selected for the draft cover, while others may be used inside. Several draft covers were made before selecting a final image of a screaming artist for the cover. Photos were also selected for the contents page and double-page artist spread.
Task 3 The Fly
The document describes The Fly, a free monthly music magazine published in the UK since 1999 that focuses on indie and alternative rock music. It is distributed at record shops and bars. The magazine has a simple black and white color scheme with the word "free" highlighted. It includes articles on new music and bands. The target audience is youth of both genders.
Plan
This document outlines changes made to a magazine from its initial draft to final product. Major changes included morphing the magazine's format and reworking the front cover, contents page, and double page spread layout. The front cover now features the masthead above the main image rather than on the side. The contents page focuses on text over a main image and includes three small photos. The double page spread bleaches color from the main photo to make it stand out against less colorful pages. Photos were selected and layouts refined through multiple drafts to the final versions.
Step by step front cover
The document describes Bethany Harvey's process for designing the front cover of her magazine "Rock On!". It discusses 5 main steps:
1) Drawing initial layout drafts and considering the target audience.
2) Creating computer-based drafts and choosing a simple layout to attract readers.
3) Producing a first draft cover that needed improvements to proportions and colors.
4) A second draft incorporating planned changes but still needing refinement.
5) A final draft with a jail-themed background, guitar props, and taglines to stand out from competitors. Bethany was pleased with addressing issues through multiple revisions.

Evaluation
This document evaluates a student media project using forms and conventions of real media. It provides examples of how the student magazine's cover, contents page, and double page spread compare to conventions from NME and Kerrang magazines. For the cover, conventions like the masthead, selling line, and photos are used but in different placements than typical magazines. The contents page layout is based on NME but incorporates elements from Kerrang like smaller article photos. The double page spread takes inspiration from a Kerrang interview in its use of dark colors and placement of text, photos, and pull quotes.

Music magazine q.2
The document summarizes photos taken for a music magazine cover featuring a model. The photos were meant to portray the model as mysterious yet powerful by having him face down with his hands together in a long shot. Headphones were included to imply he was creating music.

Freud and Jung
Psychoanalysis is a psychological theory developed by Sigmund Freud involving unconscious mental processes, resistance and repression, and the importance of sexuality. Freud believed the mind is divided into the conscious mind, which we are aware of, and the unconscious mind, containing unacceptable thoughts and influences on our behavior outside of our awareness. Jung disagreed with Freud's emphasis on sexuality and proposed concepts like the archetype, collective unconscious, and complex, which are patterns of emotion and perception that help form characters and relate to audiences. Costume design can represent these concepts symbolically through color and subtly convey themes in performance.
Cd cover analysis
The album cover features a photo of John Legend sitting at a piano on an urban street, gazing to the side as he plays. The piano is the central motif, appearing on both the front and back covers against a backdrop of the city. Black is the dominant color, providing contrast for the white and gold text listing the artist, album and track details. The cover conveys that the music will feature the piano and fit John Legend's soul/R&B style, without explicitly stating the genre.

The magazine Maverick addresses its target audience of independent music fans through its name, tagline, and imagery. The name "Maverick" identifies with those outside the mainstream. The red tagline indicates the genre of music covered and that readers think independently. The main cover image would appeal to the target audience through its conventions of their social group. Throughout the magazine, the house style of black, red, and white colors and fonts are continued to attract and engage the audience. Article content like exclusive interviews and competitions also aim to attract readers.
Q1
The document discusses the forms and conventions used in creating a music magazine cover and contents page.
The magazine cover follows conventions of Rolling Stone magazine, including the masthead, cover line, main image, selling line, headline, price and barcode. Eye contact and modern clothing were used to represent the R&B genre. Consistent colors of red, black and white were used throughout.
The contents page uses two columns, house style fonts and colors, images, and lists articles with page numbers to follow typical magazine conventions. Article pages also use consistent colors and positioning of a single image to the right of text.
Evaluation q1
1. The document summarizes how the media product uses conventions of real music magazines. Key conventions included are a barcode, date, cost, layout with a large central image, headlines, and plugs/advertisements.
2. Forms such as mastheads, contents pages, and double page spreads are modeled after magazines like 'Metal Hammer' and 'Kerrang'. Colors, fonts, and positioning of images and text are designed to look professional.
3. Challenges include putting text around an image spanning two pages and using slanted text for impact, while keeping the design simple and easy to read like real music magazines.
Rough Cut Comparison
The document compares the design elements of the author's magazine to NME and Q magazines. For the cover, the author used a similar image composition to NME but a direct eye line like Q to engage the audience. The layout replicates elements of NME with the large artist name as the main headline. Throughout the magazine, the author uses a consistent red, white, and black color scheme and simple fonts and images to represent the music genre, as seen in NME and Q. The language and design aims to be appropriate and readable for the target mature audience.
Question seven1
The document compares the front covers and contents pages of two magazines - "DJ Talk", a music magazine, and "BAMM". For the front cover of "DJ Talk", a sophisticated font was used for the main title, and the masthead was placed above the image, making it eye-catching. Short, catchy cover lines were used instead of wordy ones. The contents page of "DJ Talk" included more images to break up the text, used clear subheadings and boxes, and had larger page numbers for easy navigation.
Evaluation of my own music magazine production
The document provides an evaluation of the author's own music magazine production. It summarizes the key ways the magazine uses and develops conventions of real music magazines.

Question 1 evaluation
This document evaluates how the student's media product uses or develops conventions of real music magazines. For the cover, the student places the masthead at the top in a large, distinctive font to draw attention. The selling line is placed above the masthead in the same color. For contents, features are listed in two columns with artist photos and page numbers in large, clear fonts. The main article focuses on the artist Ben Jones, using his photo and an interview format. Overall, the student aims to follow conventions like large central images and clearly labeled sections, only challenging conventions a little by choosing their own color schemes and layouts.
Research magazine front cover
The document summarizes the front covers of two music magazines - Vibe and NME. For Vibe, it notes the simple layout featuring an image of smiling artist T.I. linked to the main headline. It comments on the hidden masthead, unique color scheme, and conventions used. For NME, it highlights the seductive image of Florence linked to the headline, more complex layout providing previews, and use of red and white colors linking to the masthead. The writer expresses wanting to incorporate effective images, unique color schemes, and playful yet professional designs like these magazines for their own music magazine cover.
Evaluation of my own music magazine production
The document provides an evaluation of the student's own music magazine production. It discusses various ways the magazine uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. This includes using a longer word for the masthead to fit the indie genre, positioning the cover model to turn pages, and including typical magazine elements like barcodes and prices. Formats like the contents page and double-page articles are analyzed against magazines like NME. The target audience is identified as women aged 16-23 interested in indie music and style. The student concludes that IPC Media, which distributes NME, would be a suitable institution to publish the magazine due to the similar audience demographics and conventions used.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

20 Comprehensive Checklist of Designing and Developing a Website
Evaluation
- 2. TITLE NAME AND MASTHEAD DESIGN I chose ‘The Drop’ as the title of my magazine as it is an integral part of the music genre I was focusing on. My masthead is white on a black background as it stands out more than any other colour. It features a downwards arrow as this links with the name of the magazine and adds more personality to the cover and brand. This use of colours was inspired by magazines including NME and Ebony that use contrasting colours to stand out
- 3. The images of my main musician ‘The Messiah’ make him look powerful with the effects I have used and poses MY IMAGES he is in. The medium/long shot I have used for the front cover is unconventional but I think goes well with the impression I am trying to give of him. The other pictures I have taken and used I have added effects to. I did this as it makes the style of my magazine more defined. The settings I have used have been the school hall, a music office and the shenfield common. They were the most suitable for the pictures I was hoping to get.
- 4. TITLE FONT AND STYLE I used a pretty standard font, nothing too fancy as I wanted to keep my content clear to the audience. The colour of white on black also keeps it clear and easily visible. The font I have used was influenced by the magazines NME and Ebony also as they use very simple fonts effectively. The title is also in bold which sets it apart from the rest of the font. My font will appeal to my target audience as it is eye catching and this makes it effective
- 5. WRITTEN CONTENT The written content I have used is quite formal as my magazine is quite serious and I wanted to give that impression. I introduced the main artist just as most magazines do and I just asked questions that I had seen a lot in other magazines that were to do with the artists career and such.
- 6. GENRE CONVENTIONS The music genre I have chosen is electronic. This is stated on the front of the magazine in my magazine motto I have used dark colours with contrasting brighter which corresponds with the conventions of other electronic magazines. This choice is backed up with the picture of just one man on the front as this is how electronic music is mostly created nowadays.
- 7. LAYOUT The layout of my front cover is heavily focused on the main artist of my magazine, as it usually is in music magazines, The masthead is just above his head, partially blocked out by his image as it is on a lot of magazine covers. The main coverlines are arranged around the artist so that he remains the focus of the cover.
- 8. CONTENTS PAGE The contents features images with captions that include their page numbers so they can be easily found like on other music magazines. The important pages are labelled in bold and larger font so my audience (who may only want to see the important things as they are busy) have a quick way of knowing where to go.
